Question 1

What is Quicknode trading infrastructure?

Accepted Answer

Quicknode trading infrastructure is a unified platform that gives crypto trading teams low-latency RPC across 80+ blockchains, real-time market data through Streams, Dedicated Clusters co-located near their servers, Multi-Region Broadcast for faster confirmations, and exchange APIs for Jupiter on Solana and Hyperliquid. Quicknode APIs respond at 81ms on average, 19x faster than the industry average of 1,567ms. Nansen, Circle, Dune, 0x, Arkham, and Copper run on it.

Question 2

Which Quicknode product should I use for swaps, broadcasting, streaming data, or programmatic trading?

Accepted Answer

Match the product to the job. Use the Metis Jupiter v6 Swap API for swaps on Solana. Use the Quicknode Hyperliquid Exchange API for orders on Hyperliquid. Use Multi-Region Broadcast to send transactions across multiple regions in a single call and reduce block delay. Use Streams for real-time trades, transfers, price updates, and onchain events. For programmatic trading bots, run Core RPC or Dedicated Clusters near your servers and pair them with Gas Estimation for execution timing.

Question 3

What is Metis and how does it fit a Solana trading stack?

Accepted Answer

Metis is Quicknode's Solana trading add-on that exposes Jupiter's v6 Swap API with managed rate limits, full route liquidity, and no infrastructure to maintain. It handles route discovery and swap execution so trading teams can focus on strategy. Pair Metis with Quicknode's Solana RPC and Streams to get route discovery, swap execution, and live market data in one stack.

Question 4

What is the Quicknode Hyperliquid Exchange API?

Accepted Answer

The Quicknode Hyperliquid Exchange API is a managed endpoint for placing, modifying, and canceling orders on Hyperliquid. It abstracts the low-level signing flow and exposes a stable, production-grade interface to Hyperliquid's order book. Trading teams use it to ship Hyperliquid order flow without running their own signing infrastructure or wallet plumbing.

Question 5

What is HyperCore gRPC and when would I use it?

Accepted Answer

HyperCore gRPC is Quicknode's streaming interface for Hyperliquid data delivered over a persistent gRPC connection. It pushes trades, orders, fills, and book events continuously instead of forcing REST polling. Use HyperCore gRPC for market-making, latency-sensitive bots, real-time risk and PnL systems, and any application that needs continuous Hyperliquid state at the lowest possible latency.

Question 6

How does Quicknode reduce trading latency?

Accepted Answer

Quicknode reduces trading latency through four mechanisms. Core RPC responds at 81ms on average, 19x faster than the 1,567ms industry average. Dedicated Clusters place blockchain nodes near a trader's servers so RPC calls stay within a region. Multi-Region Broadcast submits a single transaction across multiple regions in parallel to reach block producers faster. HyperCore gRPC eliminates REST polling overhead for Hyperliquid data.

Question 7

Do I need a new account or endpoint to use trading products on Quicknode?

Accepted Answer

No. Quicknode trading products work from your existing account and dashboard. Add Streams, Dedicated Clusters, Metis, the Hyperliquid Exchange API, HyperCore gRPC, Multi-Region Broadcast, or any Marketplace add-on to an endpoint you already have. For dedicated enterprise infrastructure, contact sales at quicknode.com/contact-us.
